ALLEGED AMERICAN AGREEMENT. By Telegraph—Press Assn—Copyright. Washington, Jan. 21. Admiral Benson, head of the Shipping Board, has ordered an investigation of Senator Jones’ sensational charges, made before the National Merchant Marine Association, that the International Mercantile Marine, which is an American corporation leasing 40 vessels from the Shipping Board, made an agreement in 1903 with the British Admiralty to pursue no policy that would be injurious «o the interests of the British mercantile marine or British trade. The agreement, it is stated, terminates two years hence. Mr. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine, denies the Jones’ charges.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
